Kathy Rain returns with a vengeance
Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is an adventure game that plunges players into a gritty ‘90s world, where a broke, sarcastic detective takes on her most dangerous case yet. With a serial killer haunting the city and a reward on the line, this sequel to Kathy Rain raises the overall stakes.
A deadly case in a bleak city
In Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer, the Soothsayer murders have left Kassidy gripped with fear, and Kathy Rain, down on her luck, sees one last shot at redemption. As players piece together cryptic clues and navigate a cast of suspicious characters, the point-and-click mechanics bring both suspense and satisfaction.
The pixel art is improved with enhanced lighting and reflections, enriching Kathy’s harsh reality. Stunning hand-drawn cutscenes and familiar voice talents help ground the emotional stakes. The expanded scope allows for a longer playtime, more locations, and a gripping narrative. However, it’s not ideal for players into more action-driven gameplay.
A must-play for mystery fans
Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling. With clever dialogue, immersive puzzles, and cinematic flair, it’s both a rewarding continuation for longtime fans and an enticing entry point for newcomers willing to ride shotgun with Kathy Rain.
